Here’s what we loved this year and what we didn’t like very much at all. We’d love to hear your opinions too, obviously!

In which Erika Moen, the mastermind behind DAR! and Oh Joy, Sex Toy, tells us to go have a wank.

This is basically a snack-pack of camp recap — we’ve got a Sunday rundown, cabin photos, heaps of memories and final feelings and a little essay situation! Maybe even an announcement of some kind.
